Today is Day 2 of a Seven-Day Mojo Monday celebration of Julee Tilman's 100th mojo sketch. I'm going to do my best to attempt them all (in addition to the Pals Paper Arts Challenge on Thursday). I adore challenges.
I get to introduce another new stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini, Autumn Splendor (available September 1). This set includes three beautiful leaf patterns plus a double acorn stamp. Gorgeous for fall. Amazing with the coordinating Autumn Meadows Designer Series Paper (also available September 1).
It's late and I need to get some beauty sleep. LOL. However, I'll leave you with the products I used for this card (below) and a few helpful tips. If you have a question about the card details, simply leave me a comment at the end of this post and I'll happily respond 🙂
- The leaf was inked in VersaMark and heat embossed with Black Embossing Powder for a lovely shine and raised texture.
- SO COOL: Have you noticed the perforated edge on the Top Note Die? It's incredibly easy to remove with Paper Snips (103579) and looks rich when layered over a a full (uncut) Top Note Die. I like the way the black Top Note peeks behind the Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper. Learned this little trick at the Stampin' Up! Convention.
- Two Stampin' Up! must haves . . . the Modern Label Punch and Basic Black 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon. They bring this design to life!
